Pretty in Pink!

Think Pink!

Who wouldn't want to throw a "Pink Party" for this adorable child! Emily Bryan was turning 3 and she's been obsessed with all-things-pink for the past year.

After hearing Emily repeatedly tell us about her "pink paaar-teeee dress" we decided this girl needed a birthday celebration to match her excitement.

Since Jennifer is a little neutral on the whole pink craze (as in, where did this frilly child come from?) it seemed perfect to use one of our "Kid Swim Fridays" to create a built-in audience to indulge Emily's dreams of a pink birthday.

Emily did not disappoint! She was all smiles and loved the pink balloons, pink lemonade, pink strawberries and of course, pink cake and pink ice cream! According to Jennifer, Emily slept in our gifts: a pink tutu and pink feather boa.

So, here is some color pink bonus info that Emily probably doesn't know. Pink has been used in prison holding cells to effectively reduce erratic behavior. And, pink ribbons are recognized as a symbol of hope and awareness in the fight against breast cancer.

There is a city in India (Jaipur City) that has become known as The Pink City. Jaipur is adorned in pink garb, pink palaces, and pink fortresses. The city has pink festivals, pink rituals, and old world pink charm.

I can be "tickled pink" but not if I get a "pink slip" at work. If I sprain my "pinkie finger" it's really difficult to cut with my "pinking shears." And if I'm feeling really good people might say I'm "in the pink."

Birthday Greetings to our Pink Party Princess: Emily Alice Bryan!
